Adnan Oktar: Turkey must assert its role as an elder brother and thus become a leader…It is a country of scrupulous people. They go to Bosnia they are loved, in Somalia they are loved, people show them respect. People of Afghanistan love and respect them very much. There is something substantial here.That means the entire Middle East and the Islamic World loves the Turkish Army and the Turkish public. That means they want Turkey to be the elder brother. Therefore Turkey has to appear at this point and fulfill this duty, both in the Islamic countries and the Turkic states…

Adnan Oktar: Allah protects the one who is brave, just and wise. This nation is brave, just and wise and will do what is necessary.These courageous and stouthearted leaps forward will carry on, and Turkey will defend Turkish-Islamic Union in the more undaunted and straight out manner; you will see that. Turkey will face up to pay the price for it and intrepidly express this.

Power belongs to Allah. There is no other power but Allah. Allah gives trouble to the one who fears. Allah protects the one who is brave. A Muslim is responsible for being courageous. So, courage will follow courage. The boldness of Turkish -Islamic Union will take shape. This mood of being brave does not mean to have a confrontational style but a manner of feeling love, mercy, and compassion. We will come up with a system that involves Armenia and Israel, protects the Orthodox Christians, embraces all the Christians, and all the Jews, Insha’Allah.
